We cannot recommend the Just After Midnight team highly enough. From the start they have been nimble, highly responsive, proactive and professional. The team took the headache and risk out of the migration from our previous supplier, in particular the knowledge transfer for our complex and business critical eCommerce system. The team continue to act as a real extension of our team and are critical to the delivery of our business outcomes.
